Tithinji (The Honors College, Florida Atlantic U.) documents and analyzes the contemporary reality of Kenya. In the nine chapters, he provides the best available estimate of income equality,
and also presents data on time allocation, which makes it possible to compare the distribution of work with that of income. Finally, he attempts to construct a class analysis of rural Kenya
that goes far beyond the debates of the 1970s and 1980s, presenting a subtle analysis that divides into 30 types the following variables: does the household own a family farm or non-farm
enterprise (or both), and do members of the household work and/or does the household hire labor to work on the family farm or in the non-farm enterprise. Lacks an index. Annotation c. Book
